During a layover in Calcutta, while his ship was under repair, Tomes was lured by the promise of forbidden esoterica by a priest of Yog Sothoth, and he eventually became an acolyte. He returned to his ship with a crumbling tome, and a jar of alien spores from the Fungus that was Yog Sothoth’s vanguard.

Tomes attempted to convert his crew, but was rebuffed.

He, in a blood ritual designed to magically convert his crew, put three of the crewmates’ hearts into the ship’s supply of sauerkraut.

But Tomes was caught, and sealed alive in a coffin by his crew. Before dying, he cursed the crew: "When Yuggoth turns its face from the sun, shall I rise! Your kin shall be slain, yet shall they rise to do my master's work! The fruit of your seed shall be the gate, and when the moon is at fullness the key will turn and my master shall walk the earth! Heed these words, for you hear the sound of your destruction! This is the legacy and lament of Jeb Tomes!"

This transformed him into an avatar of vengeance for the spurned Yog Sothoth; when the stars are right, he will murder the descendants of his traitorous crew, become a vanguard for Yog Sothoth, and work that entity’s will on this plane.
